DESCRIPTION

A fun and simple way to introduce the serve.

Using the underhand serve players pass the ball over the net one another.

There should be no loose balls here, players should focus on accuracy as they aim to get the ball up and over.

Once again players should be stepping forwards with the opposite leg to the hand that you serve with.

COACHING POINTS

Start close to the net, and then if you are successful take one step backwards until you can serve from the baseline to each other.

OFTEN USED WITH...

Underhand Serving: 3:

Stage three of the serving progressions;

Working in pairs, players throw the ball to go over the net to their partner (with no bounce), stepping forward with the opposite leg to the hand that you roll the ball over with (using body weight).

So if players throw the ball with their right hand they should step forward with their left foot.
